內容大鋼
本書基於SEARS AND ZEMANSKY'S UNIVERSITY PHYSICS WITH MODERN PHYSICS，13E（《西爾斯當代大學物理》原書第13版），參照教育部高等學校物理基礎課程教學指導分委員會制定的《理工科類大學物理課程教學基本要求》（2010年版），依據我國大學生的學習基礎和教學大綱的知識點要求改編。本書涵蓋了上述教學基本要求中的所有A類知識點，主要內容有力學、熱學、電磁學、波動光學、相對論和量子物理。本書的特點是，在改編過程中對內容和習題進行了精選，不僅完全繼承了原書的特色，還在行文上完全保留了原版教材原汁原味的表述，其內容和閱讀量更適合中國理工科類相關專業作為雙語教學的教材，同時可供社會讀者閱讀。
